We are in the process of redoing our backyard with a pool and have removed all of the grass. We are creating a space for her to potty in with pea gravel. We figured it's what the doggy daycare uses, it won't die, and it won't need mowing or watering. Any tips on helping her make the...

No offense, and it's not against my religion, but I wouldn't want your dogs touching my feet either. Who knows, they could have licked their butt and then my foot - I don't know and I don't want to find out! I wouldn't want any strange creature - animal, human, whatever, touching my feet -...

Oops, I meant to put this in the General Dog forum. Sorry...

What does he/she do first? I wake Sophie up, she doesn't wake us up (knock on wood, but I love this fact). When I open her crate door she just spills out onto the floor (literally) and wants a tummy rub. It's the cutest thing. I then let her go potty and she wants back into her crate...

Years ago I had my cat done. A photographer had set up some special portrait days at Petco. You might want to call and ask if yours does something like that. It was a pet photographer that specializes in working with animals. (It was a lot like photographing a baby, interestingly - amuse...

That's hopeful news. I'll keep my fingers crossed!

For a dog who normally isn't used to playing in the snow, do I need to take any extra precautions for her? What keeps her feet from freezing? We're going up to Big Bear where the temperature is in the 30's during the day and the teens at night, and are thinking of taking Sophie with us...

It never fails, whenever my dog gets attention from novel people (meaning, anyone who isn't normally there), she pees on the floor. It's gotten so predictable that for the most part, I keep her outside or in her crate whenever someone new comes into the house. It's embarrassing. She'll be...

I'm still traumatized by the elephants at the San Diego Wild Animal Park. Holy cow. :eek: If I ever buy an elephant, it'll be a girl.

Do pit bull owners in Ontario actually have to get rid of their dogs?? What does this mean??

Dh just gave me two "helpful" suggestions. We can feed her until she gets fat and won't want to play. or, We can buy a a giant mousewheel or mouseball and stick her in it. "They must make them for possums - they're rodents aren't they? And about as big as Sophie?" Sure dear...

To be on the safe side, I do the same as I did with my kids when they were toddlers. We go when we wake up, before we go to bed, after eating, and I have her go potty whenever I'm about to leave the house. She holds her bladder all night.

I'm in southern California and as you have probably heard we have been getting pelted with days-long storms on and off since like October now. A new storm just started today (after a 4 day break from the last one) and will last until Wednesday (today is Thursday). It is hard enough to get...

It sounds like it would be very confusing to the dog and make adjustment take longer. HOWEVER. Look at the greater good. If glamourizing the process of adopting a dog from a shelter find more dogs homes and saves more dog's lives, than the show is worth it.

I'm not a country music fan...but was beside myself when Green Day performed! :p

About every other day. For as long as she'll hold still!

I have a cockapoo with a very dense poodle-like coat. (Some cockapoos get wavy fur like a cocker spaniel, and some get the curly curly ones - like mine). Anyway, she has been getting some small mats even though we brush her regularly. We've been keeping her hair super short to help...

It happened to me. This is the first time I've been able to log on in a few days. I got the same error page.

I'd be absolutely lost without a cat in the house.

My dog only barks at me if she doesn't like what I've told her. But as far as encountering other dogs while on walks, people walking by our house, even every single dog in the neighborhood barking their heads off, she won't bark. She's totally oblivious. But if I tell her not to do...
